Topic: Charity Running Programs - What Do You Think

The more I think about it, the more I'm beginning to realize just how wise Bambi is. She's right about letting those bombastic meanderthals run their own meander-thons and at the finish, all of the charity cheaters can gather 'round and talk about what they got away with. Bambi, thank you for showing me that I was wrong. I'll never run for T.I.T. (formally TNT) again (all the proceeds go to feasts for the overweight anyway). Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
